Chapter 140 Prison Visit
Mother and son Liu were waiting outside the yard anxiously, but seeing the ferocious-looking group of people, they did not dare to go forward. They kept stretching their necks to look towards the gate of the yard. People passing by looked at mother and son Liu curiously.
With a creaky sound, the door of the yard opened again, and Ye Changyan walked out with steady steps.
Liu and Silang hurriedly ran towards Ye Changyan. Liu knew that it was not very kind to let Ye Changyan enter the yard alone, but she could not care less about that now.
As soon as Ye Changyan walked out of the courtyard, Liu started asking.
"Sanlang, these evil-looking people have already closed the door before we even entered. What's going on in there?"
Ye Changyan sneered in his heart and signaled with his eyes that they should leave first, as this was not the place to talk.
Seeing Ye Changyan leaving the courtyard, Huo Chong still felt a little uneasy, so he asked his men to find out Ye Changyan's identity and background.
Tang Laizi is one of the most capable brokers under his command. He must give Tang Laizi an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, if he disappoints his subordinates, it will be difficult for him to convince them in the future.
Ye Changyan took Liu and Silang and walked towards the county government office.
"Second Aunt, this Tang Laizi is indeed lying in bed unconscious, and his condition is not very good."
Ye Changyan had no intention of telling Liu about his premonition. Second Uncle and Erlang were able to cause such a big mess, and Second Uncle's wife was also not free from responsibility.
Liu knew that her husband was spending money outside, but she did not advise him in time, so Ye Xiaowu's gambling addiction became worse and worse, and his courage grew. After losing all his money, he had to borrow money from loan sharks. He borrowed three times in half a year. Now even the 100 acres of land that the old man bought with his life savings has been mortgaged to the money house.
The second uncle hangs out with some idle people all day long, and his wife goes from one house to another all day long, and doesn't care about her two sons. Compared with Dalang, Erlang and Silang have always been sloppy in their dress since they were young.
The second uncle and his wife were busy fooling around and visiting friends, and they neglected to discipline Erlang and Silang, which gradually allowed Erlang to develop such a carefree character, so that now he has caused trouble and was locked up in the county government.
Fortunately, Silang is a relatively introverted person. He looks a bit honest and dull, and he doesn't like to play with Erlang, so he is less likely to cause trouble.
Liu and Silang were extremely anxious when they heard what Ye Changyan said. Originally, they had held a glimmer of hope when they heard the news from others, but now that Ye Changyan was going to visit them in person, Liu was a little at a loss for a moment, and it took her a long time before she asked Ye Changyan.
"Then Sanlang, what should we do next?"
Ye Changyan thought to himself, when he wanted to enter the yard before, he didn't dare to go in alone, but now it's our turn. He felt a little disdainful in his heart, but still replied.
"Let's go to the county government office first and see if we can meet Second Uncle and his family."
When Liu and Silang heard this, their faces were filled with anticipation, and their pace unknowingly quickened.
When he arrived at the county government office, a clerk recognized Ye Changyan, so he stepped forward to greet him. He then learned that County Magistrate Wu had gone to the provincial capital, and that County Magistrate Zhang was now in charge of the county government. Ye Changyan then asked the clerk to help pass the message.
Soon the clerk took Ye Changyan to see County Magistrate Zhang, while Liu's mother and son were waiting at the gate of the county government with anxious and frightened looks on their faces.
However, it didn't take long before the police came and took Liu and her son to the jail.
Through the dim light in the cell, Liu and Silang finally saw Ye Xiaowu and Erlang who were imprisoned in the cell.
Liu finally couldn't suppress her emotions anymore and burst into tears.
"Howl, howl! If you howl again, I'll kick you out!"
Just as Liu howled twice, she heard the guards in the cell yelling at her.
Liu was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth. After a few days, the family finally met in this cell across the thorns.
Ye Xiaowu had an untidy beard, unkempt hair and a dirty face, and he looked much more exhausted. Silang also had unkempt hair and a dirty face, and he looked noticeably thinner.
When Liu saw the look on the father and son's faces, she didn't dare to cry out loud. Her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, accompanied by low sobs.
The family reunited in this cell. Ye Xiaowu was still clear-headed, so he asked Liu.
"Who brought you in?"
"It's Sanlang. Sanlang is back from the city."
When Ye Xiaowu heard that Sanlang had finally returned from the provincial capital, he seemed to feel more confident. He was sure that Sanlang would come to rescue him and his son.
Just as Ye Xiaowu was asking Liu about the situation outside, Ye Changyan was reminiscing about the past with County Magistrate Zhang.
County Magistrate Zhang was very concerned about the cattle farm and milk processing workshop in Shanglin Village, so he asked Ye Changyan about the specific situation in detail.
After learning from Ye Changyan that the candies made by the milk processing workshop were very popular in the city, County Magistrate Zhang was very satisfied and asked Ye Changyan about matters such as increasing the number of dairy cows and expanding the scale.
Ye Changyan answered all the questions in detail, and County Magistrate Zhang smiled and nodded repeatedly.
When talking about the matter of Ye Xiaowu and Erlang, Ye Changyan said that he would let County Magistrate Zhang handle it impartially and would never let him do things in a way that was difficult for him due to personal favoritism. County Magistrate Zhang also said that he would try his best to help within his ability.
After coming out from County Magistrate Zhang, Ye Changyan was led to the prison cell by the clerk arranged by County Magistrate Zhang.
When the second family saw Ye Changyan coming, they were like they had seen a savior, and they hurriedly lay down on the bushes to ask Ye Changyan questions.
"Sanlang, have you told the county magistrate that he can let Erlang and I go?"
Hearing Ye Xiaowu's tone, Ye Changyan snorted inwardly. It seemed that he had not reflected enough and still held unrealistic fantasies. However, he still asked Ye Xiaowu and Erlang about their well-being with concern before speaking.
"Second uncle, my wife, Silang and I went to see Tang Laizi. He has not woken up since he fell into a coma that day."
Ye Changyan wanted to shatter the family's unrealistic fantasies first, so he continued.
"The shopkeeper Huo Chong of Baotong Bank insisted that if Tang Laizi could not wake up safely, they would not withdraw the lawsuit no matter what. Now County Magistrate Wu has gone to the capital to handle affairs, and County Magistrate Zhang is in charge of the county government. I just visited County Magistrate Zhang, and he did not dare to release Tang Laizi without the permission of County Magistrate Wu!"
When the second family heard what Ye Changyan said, they became a little anxious for a moment.
"It's impossible that Laizi Tang will never wake up and we will be locked up here forever, right?"
It seems that Jilang's tone does not realize how big a mistake he has made. Now he has been locked up in a cell, but he still looks carefree.
Ye Changyan did not bother with the second branch's family about when Tang Laizi would wake up, and continued speaking.
"Manager Huo showed me the loan note and the land deed. He said that if the debt cannot be repaid on time, they will come to reclaim the land. So, uncle and aunt, before the police drive us away, you should quickly discuss how to raise money. This is the most urgent thing right now."
Ye Changyan's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone in the second house to stare at Ye Xiaowu in amazement.
